The stall is a great idea, but don't forget the tranny cooler and the shift kit is a good idea too. You'll want to get a tune to get rid of torque management with this as well. IMHO, hold off on the gear, the stall will give you even more problems with blowing your drag radials off. Start putting money away for your rear end. If you are going to continue to spray, that 10 bolt may not last all that long.
Good luck!

Your car will run 7.5 in the 1/8 on the jug right now on some sticky tires.
Read stickies at top of each section of this site. It will help alot. It probably says to steer clear of the SLP headers and the Granetelli MAF.
If you do a converter you need to decide what cam you will get down the road so it will match the converter. If Iwere gonna spray the car I would stay around 3500 stall. A cam that would match that converter would be anything 228 and lower on duration. Personally I think a 224 cam with good converter with all the bolt ons would be a pretty nasty setup for you and keep good drivability.

i want to be running at least 7.5s in the 1/8 on the jugFWIW, if and when i go the route of a stall, i'll probably look into a yank SS3200 or SS3600. the TCI's are known to have problems with their lockup clutches. IMO spend the extra money for yank or vig, although i've only read these things, not experienced them. maybe someone else who has owned them all can chime in.

I didn't have a TCI but I did have a Midwest (from what I understand it's about the same thing), and now I have Vig. The Midwest was a 3k stall and the Vig is a 4k. I can tell you from my experience. The Vig is the way to go. It feels a lot tighter than the Midwest. Don't get me wrong, the Midwest did the job, it really helped with performance. I picked up about 4 tenths in the quarter, it just felt loose on the street compared to the Vig.

If you want a quick in and out, then I'd go for TheBlurLS1. He gives short and to the point a whole new meaning.
If you have a little more time and enjoy forplay as well as cuddling afterwards, then orangeapeel is right for you.

Dude, stay away from high lift cams, unless you want to change valve springs often. Lift doesnt mean lope, lobe separation means lope. Get a nice texas speed 228r cam on a 112 and it will lope nicely. Put the headers on and if you are an auto, make sure you do a stall before you do any cam. And make sure you upgrade your pushrods and valvesprings when you do the cam swap.
